Camping Recipe: Baked Apples

Mmm...Baked Apples. Another of my favorite camping recipes and heck, just one of my all time favorite desserts. They're sooooo yummy! I only wish we were going to have some icecream on this camping trip to go with them!

Use as many apples as you need for your camping crowd. Core the apple, leaving a thin layer on the bottom. In the cored out area, put a pat of butter and about a tablespoon of brown sugar. This will depend on how big your apples are, remember the brown sugar will melt down into the butter. The rest is up to you! You can put in a few cinnamon candies, or a couple caramels, depending on the flavor you like. Wrap the apples in foil (if your coals are hot, double wrap. If they are cooler, single wrap) The apples are placed on the coals and rolled every 10 minutes or so. They usually take about a half hour, depending on the heat of your coals. If you are lucky enough to have a freezer, serve these with some yummy french vanilla icecream. Otherwise, serve them with whipped topping, cheese or just as they are!
